| Summary: | Introduction: Arterial hypertension is a primary global public health concern, commonly called elevated or high Blood Pressure (BP). The term “hypertension” refers to elevated BP. Individuals’ knowledge and behaviours regarding hypertension are crucial in managing the condition and averting its chronic consequences.
Need of the study: Hypertension is a modifiable and major risk factor for coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease and chronic renal failure. The high prevalence of hypertension makes it a significant factor in mortality and morbidity. Hence, it is of utmost importance to assess the knowledge and attitude of hypertensive patients regarding hypertension.
Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge and attitude regarding hypertension among hypertensive patients.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre and post-test study will be conducted in Maharashtra’s community area of Wardha, India from June 2024-October 2024. Eighty five hypertensive patients will be included, and a structured questionnaire will be used for data collection in this study. The tools will consist of section I: Demographical data like age, gender, education, occupation, family income, and marital status. Section II: Structured knowledge questionnaire on hypertension among hypertensive patients. Section III: the respondent’s attitude toward hypertension, which will be premeditated using the Likert scale. To meet the study’s objectives, the data gathered from the participants will be categorised and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. One-way ANOVA will be applied to statistically evaluate the association of demographic variables with the level of knowledge and attitude and for pre and post-test evaluation of the participants, a paired t-test will be used. A p-value of <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. |
